Abstract: A redundant array includes a plurality of disks, a bus coupling the disks, a receiving device, and a device to reconstruct a block stored in one of the disks. The device reconstructs the block with associated data and parity blocks from other disks. The device transmits the reconstructed block to the receiving device in response to the one of the disks being slowly responding. A method includes requesting a first disk to transmit a first block, reconstructing, when necessary, the first block from associated data stored in other disks of a RAID configuration, and transmitting the reconstructed block directly to a receiving device. The transmitting is in response to the first disk not transmitting the block in a predetermined time.

IPC: G06F9/46

Abstract: It will be well known that a so-called object-oriented approach to computer programming has become widespread over the past few years and applications such as large multiplayer games are no exception. A number of approaches to allowing objects to communicate with one another have been developed. One set of these approaches relate to allowing so-called distributed objects, which is to say objects distributed over a client/server system, to communicate with one another. With reference to applications such as large multiplayer games, dynamic real time distributed communications between mobile objects must be considered. Present day techniques, involving the use of simple TCP/IP or UDP/IP, CORBA or DCOM are unable to provide such real time dynamic performance. According to one aspect of the invention a method of providing communication between two or more application software elements is provided comprising associating each application software element with a communication software element through which to send and/or receive messages, holding the communication state of the associated application software element in each communication software element, allowing each application software element to communicate with other application software elements by sending and receiving messages through the respectively associated communication software elements and allowing each application software element and associated communication software element to move. Holding the communication state in the communication software element associated with each application software element allows the application software element and communication software element assembly to communicate and move in particularly dynamic fashion. Messaging consequently enabled, carried out on a per software element basis, allows for continuity of communication between objects even if they move in a dynamic fashion.

Abstract: A magnetic torque transducer for a structure such as a disc through which torque is transmitted between a central shaft to which the disc is mounted and an outer periphery such as a gear wheel. The intervening region through which torque is transmitted is magnetized to provide a transducer element having two magnetized, annular regions which cooperate to emanate a magnetic field that is torque-dependent. The two magnetized regions may be longitudinally-magnetized through the disc or circumferentially magnetized with opposite polarities. A sensor assembly of non-contacting sensors is used to detect the emanated field and connected in circuitry to provide a torque-dependent signal. In an alternative a single magnetized annular region is employed. The annular region or regions need not be a complete annulus. The same disc-like structure can also be used as force sensor for measuring bending moments or other forces which result in stress occurring in the disc.

Abstract: An interleaving/de-interleaving scheme for providing redundancy with both time and frequency diversity to data in OFDM symbols in a data transmission system. On the transmit side, encoded data to be modulated onto carriers in OFDM symbols is interleaved by storing the encoded data in an interleaver memory and reading multiple copies of the encoded data from the interleaver memory so that the encoded data copies are spread in time on non-consecutive symbols and in frequency on non-adjacent carriers. On the receive side, the multiple copies of the OFDM data are received, and phase noise computations are used to combine the multiple copies (in either metric or phase angle form) into one. From the combined copies a single metric value to be used in decoding the OFDM data is produced.
